God's Garden

When Oak's voice came from the other side of the crystal, Kita Mimon just patted Fujikawa's shoulder blade, and the sudden connection made him unable to continue to express his dissatisfaction with Fujikawa.Although Fujikawa obediently let him go, the sharp-eyed Kita Mimon knew that the corners of his mouth were full of joy of success.

really...

"Hmm - isn't it Rion? Kita Mimon?"

Oak's voice drew back the attention of the two of them, and he was surprised that he would be taken aback by Bei Yumen, who was called, before speaking.

"You, how did you know it was me?"

"Haha, you guessed right?" Oak laughed out loud, "It's just a hunch."

As if he could imagine that somewhat gloomy smile, Kita Yumen kept his mouth shut for a while, and Fujikawa led him to sit aside, so that Kita Yumen could talk to Oak properly, while he sat aside and watched watching them.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Oak continued, "You want to find me, right? I probably guessed that Lean would give you the crystal."

"..." Being told the truth, Bei Yumen said hesitantly, "I want to ask you a question, Oak."

Kita Mimon's expression was very strange, as if he was frowning a little uneasy, Fujikawa sighed helplessly when he saw this, and tried to gently stroke Kita Mimon's back to relieve his tension.

It is effective, Kita Mimon glanced at Fujikawa, and smiled with a little sad face, as if telling him not to worry.

"Ask." Oak said decisively, "I will answer you."

"Well……"

Bei Yumen was a little caught off guard by Oak's straightforward agreement. He wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn't know where to ask them all. Besides, to be honest, these things had nothing to do with him as an outsider...

After thinking for a few seconds, although he was afraid of being rejected by Oak, he finally decided to return to the key question at the beginning.

"Ouk...are you, God?" He was too nervous to speak smoothly, Bei Yumen swallowed, "Are you Oklas?"

"Yes, my name is Oklahoma."

Oak said lightly, with a slight smile in his words, "But I'm no longer a god, now I'm just Oak, a eater living in the Dragon Clan."

"...It's really Oklahoma."

Bei Yumen was stunned for a long time before muttering in his mouth. Although they were vaguely aware of this, they were still a little surprised to admit it directly. In addition, Oak's words were too natural, a bit of a lie No feeling at all.

He didn't have to lie either.

Suddenly, many things were explained. It is no wonder that Oak talked so much to Fujikawa when he was in the Dragon Clan territory. After all, Fujikawa is the descendant of the Templar Knights... But why did he help him as an outsider? ?Is it because of Fujikawa?

... No, Bei Yumen is actually clear in his heart, there is a thought that always appears as if it does not appear, but he never dares to face it squarely.

"It's Oklas." Oak sighed, "Do you doubt?"

"No, I believe you!"

Bei Yumen hurriedly interrupted Oak's question, and then he slowed down, "You are the one who brought me back from death."

"In this case, you have to thank Rin. Thanks to him for keeping your tiny life in the first place, I was able to save you back."

"..."

Bei Yumen knew that Okna had a vague smile hidden in his words, if possible, he really hoped that they could talk face to face.

"You are all my saviors, and I am very grateful to you."

Before Oak could reply, Bei Yumen continued, "But why are you willing to help me?"

"..."

Faced with this question, Okton, who has always responded quickly, stopped.

If possible, he can guarantee that he is the last person who does not want to lie to Bei Yumen.

Unfortunately, this lie must continue——

"For atonement." Oak's tone was very light, and the deep sadness was self-evident, "Leilis—this is an atonement for Grandpa Fujikawa. He is the person I feel most guilty about in my life, and also the one who regrets his incompetence the most. tragedy."

What Oake said was the truth, although he told Fujikawa a lot of things because he really wanted to make up for Leilis, and he also gave Leilis' life's hard work to him.Oak snorted, this time he was laughing at himself for speaking so high-soundingly, but in the end he wanted to alleviate his sense of guilt.

But the only thing that cannot be denied is that he is willing to do his best to help Fujikawa and the others.

And the fact hidden by him is the secret of Bei Yumen as his child. He believes that the dragons will not tell it. This secret will follow him forever, until he can face death one day.

"..."

Bei Yumen glanced at Fujikawa, only to see him shaking his head with a smile, and said softly, "It's okay, you guys continue."

"... Oak." Bei Yumen paused, "You didn't lie to me... did you?"

"...No." Oak was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Why do you say that?"

Thinking about the question that Oak threw back, Bei Yumen couldn't answer why for a while, so he could only borrow what Oak had just said,

"intuition?"

But as soon as the words were spoken, Bei Yumen felt that it seemed impolite to speak to Oak like this, so he held his head in frustration and hurriedly spoke,

"Uh, no, I don't mean to question it, I hope it won't make you unhappy."

"..." Seems to be able to imagine Beiyumen's confused appearance at this time, so Oak couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, don't worry about it."

This smile was more real than any laughter just now, and Bei Yumen, who was a little flustered, was calmed down by the laughter. The sudden precipitation made him close his eyes slightly, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Sure enough, it would be a pity not to speak directly face to face.

Kita Mimon, who was in a complicated mood, took Fujikawa's sign language and clasped his fingers. The familiar warmth made him calm down, and he seemed to have gained courage while clarifying his thoughts.

"Hey, Oak, I have another question." Kita Mimon said, Fujikawa could feel his hand clenched, "I'm sorry if I offend you."

"..." Oak had a bad premonition, but his tone was equally serious, "Say it?"

"What do you have to do with me?"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the air on both sides fell into silence.

Bei Yumen knew that this sentence was too reckless, and if other people heard it, they might think that he was a high-ranking person. How could an outsider have anything to do with the gods of this world?

It's just that before he woke up when he was dying, the dream was too real, more realistic than the parents he had dreamed about in the past twenty years, so that he almost thought that his mother was really by his side.

It is warm, but full of sadness, he has never been able to see the faces of his parents clearly in his dreams.

He didn't dare to hope that their parents were still alive, but knowing that Fujikawa's grandfather also broke through the space and escaped here, Bei Yumen inevitably had a small hope in his heart, maybe his parents also took him to another world. maybe.

In addition, Oak once said to himself "Because I am the same", which made him feel that maybe Oak would know something about him.

Perhaps it was too thick-skinned, but despite this, Bei Yumen still wanted to find out.

"... Oak?"

"—No."

"Eh?"

"You have nothing to do with me, and I don't know anything about you."

Oak's tone was as light as usual, "But we are destined, and I like you very much, so I want to help you."

"...Ah, oh, yes, is that right? Haha! That's right..."

He suddenly answered so quickly, which made Bei Yumen flustered, and an incomparable disappointment welled up in his heart. Only then did Bei Yumen realize that he was holding such great hope, and the emptiness that filled him made him lose his mind, but I don't know if it was because of the embarrassing emotion that made his whole face flush.

The feeling of being extinguished for once is still too heartbreaking, even though it was just his own wishing...

Oops, he looks like he's about to cry.

Seeing that he was a little lost, Fujikawa pursed his lips and pulled him past Beiyumen and hugged him into his arms. The crying face really made him feel distressed.

"I treat you and Fujikawa as my own children, if you don't mind... you can also treat me as your father—"

"...Thank you for answering me, Oak."

Bei Yumen was a little speechless, and the words stuffed in his chest were still transmitted to Oak, interrupting Oak's unfinished words.

"..."

Ouk on the other side also fell silent, he can probably imagine Beiyumen's expression at the moment, even he himself is frowning and covering his face, fortunately he will not see Beiyumen's disappointed face , if he really saw it, he was not sure that he would restrain his urge to tell it all.

Once this identity is discovered, not only will Kita Yumon's position change, but more people will come for the title of God, whether it's good or bad.In addition, the dangers that must be faced will also be multiplied, and many real darkness will be spread in front of Bei Yumen one day. He really has no reason to let this child get into trouble.

How could he let his own children shoulder the things that he couldn't bear? He would rather destroy the remaining hope of Beiyumen now, and Oak was unwilling to change his life drastically. However, Bei Yumen has grown into such a well-behaved and caring child.

Just treat him as a stupid father.

The puppet standing aside is still smiling, but it looks even more desolate under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Oak cut off the communication, and under the warm sun dotted with flying petals, he fell into endless sadness alone.

Alone.

"Communication cut off..."

Looking at the crystal that had lost its luster, in order to avoid breaking Fujikawa, he had to quickly reach out to catch it, and then carefully placed it on the table.

Kita Mimon hugged him tightly in his arms. Fujikawa couldn't understand the feeling of being an orphan since he was a child, but he knew how sad it would be to lose a loved one. What's more, he also knew that Kita Mimon was actually very envious of having a loved one. other people.

He didn't know why Bei Yumen asked Oak like that just now, anyway, there must be his own reasons, Fujikawa hugged Bei Yumen back, patted his back to comfort him.

"It's okay, it's okay." He coaxed softly, "I'm here and will always be with you."

"I know." Kita Mimon was trying to adjust his emotions, "I'm just a little disappointed...it's okay, really."

"..."

Fool, how could it be just some?

Fujikawa breathed a sigh of relief, he could feel Kita Mimon's hand tightening behind his back with the words, Fujikawa, who has always been good at comforting others, couldn't say a word at this moment, he only hoped that his embrace could give Kita Yumen was warm enough for him to calm down.

After all, Beiyumen has always been looking forward to the dialogue with Oak.

"Cry if you want to cry, don't be brave."

He whispered affectionately in Kita Mimon's ear, Fujikawa's actions were too gentle, and Kita Mimon's heart seemed to be disintegrated.

It must be because Fujikawa is too gentle, it must be like this, that's why he couldn't restrain the trembling of his shoulders...

In the next few days, Bei Yumen would go to check on the situation of the elves from time to time, and it took him some time to let go of the content of the conversation with Oak.Seeing him running around busy at the elf side, Fujikawa just asked him to be careful, so he continued his training with Lien.

He must seize the time. It seems that Lian and Gran will return to the Dragon Clan soon. At that time, there will be no teacher who can teach him about the Dragon Clan. Seeing that he is being chased by time, Li En will He was not stingy, and told him everything Fujikawa needed very seriously.

In just a few days, Auduo's condition has returned to normal, and the body's functions have not been greatly hindered by the long-term static. After getting used to activities, he can walk and jump. The only disadvantage is that his physical strength has changed. It's not that good, it may take time to improve.

Not letting the sadness entangle in his heart, Bei Yumen was not idle when Auduo was resting, and would run to the library in a hurry to ask Nuo Jiu to continue to exercise his abilities.Anyway, Nuo Jiu didn't have much to do at ordinary times, and it happened that he also wanted to train Bei Yumen again, so he readily agreed to him.

There is no problem with Beiyumen's use of magic. Nuo Jiu focuses most of the content on increasing Beiyumen's magic power. If time permits, Beiyumen needs to learn to calculate the amount of magic power to reduce unnecessary consume.

Fortunately, Bei Yumen has already done the training of recapturing the released magic power before, and later participated in the process of making magic power crystals, so this kind of practice that requires fine manipulation is not too difficult for him. Take a little time to practice.

"..."

Nuo Jiu looked at Bei Yumen, who was constantly applying small magic to practice the fineness of magic power, and then spoke after a while,

"What happened, you are so desperate?"

"...Eh?" As soon as Nuo Jiu's words came out, Bei Yumen froze as if being poked in the center, "I... how can I have it?"

Nuo Jiu looked at him, her tone was very indifferent, "Has anyone told you that you are not good at lying?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Bei Yumen sighed, "Many people say that."

"..."

Seeing that he silently lowered his head and didn't intend to continue, Nuo Jiu didn't ask any more questions, but just walked forward with a little helplessness.

"It's good to be serious."

While talking, he stretched out his hand and pinched Beiyumen's face vigorously, "Too much effort will have the opposite effect, you have already begun to feel dazed."

"——Oh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"I know, I know! It hurts, Nuo Jiu, stop now—"

It was rare for Nuo Jiu to make such a move, pinching Bei Yumen's fair face mercilessly, until Bei Yumen patted Nuo Jiu's hand and begged for mercy before letting him go, the burning pain made that cheek Both sides were flushed, Bei Yumen held his cheeks, looked at Nuo Jiu innocently with tears in his eyes.

"You hit too hard, ok, it hurts!"

"If I didn't hit you, I was showing mercy." Nuo Jiu withdrew her hand, and looked at Bei Yumen with her hands on her hips, "Didn't you notice that the quality of your magic hasn't changed?"

"...Hmm." Kita Yumon's mouth was muffled.

It cannot be denied that he was in a daze, but thanks to Nuo Jiu pulling his cheek so hard just now, his sanity was pulled back.

"Increasing the fineness of magic power can reduce your consumption of magic power, but you've been repeating the same action since just now, with no progress."

Nuo Jiu spoke directly, causing Bei Yumen to lower her head guiltyly, "Mmm... I'm sorry."

"..."

Heaved a sigh of relief, Nuo Jiu didn't mean to want Bei Yumen to apologize, but... that's all, it would be good to bring him back to his senses.

Nuo Jiu walked aside and sat down, "Okay, let's continue."

Bei Yumen responded, and obediently mentioned Geya again.

Time passed quickly, with several days of busy schedules, Bei Yumen had no time to think about Oak, and his mind was full of strict training and the follow-up of the elves besides Fujikawa.

There are more and more sober elves. Some elves who have been able to return to normal life, Herro, let them freely choose to stay. If they want to stay, Diliejin definitely has enough places for them to stay. Some elves In order to thank Herro for continuing to search for them without giving up, the family decided to stay and work under him. It happens that elves who are good at magic are very suitable for dealing with the work related to making magic utensils. Herro also simply accepted them and let them start from the basic start.

Although Feron was worried that there might be uneasy and kind people among these elves, he couldn't say anything more at this stage, so he could only keep an eye out for Hero, just in case.

After that, the thing that can make the Beiyu people happy is undoubtedly that Kai also woke up.

Coincidentally, it happened after Rin and Gran went back to the Dragon Clan, so Fujikawa and Kita Mimon came to Kai together. Although it was a long-lost reunion, Fujikawa didn't seem to respond. Kita Mimon's face made him feel nostalgic, recalling the days when he thought he was hated by Kai.

Although these two people don't have much emotional ups and downs, Bei Yumen doesn't care. After all, their conversation mode has been like this before. It's actually quite interesting to watch Bei Yumen aside, as if the father and son who talk less are a little embarrassed The wonderful picture of getting along with each other.On the other hand, he and Auduo chatted endlessly, and the atmosphere was also cozy and casual.

The decision of Odo to stay in Diliejin made Beiyumen very happy. With Hero's guarantee, he believed that at least the elves who stayed in Diliejin would not be persecuted again. Watching them one by one With the touched expression of waking up, Kita Mimon felt that his desperate use of magic at that time was also rewarded.

As time passed, the life of the elves gradually got on the right track, but on the other side of this stable situation, there was a storm that was about to sweep.

Not long after, the half-year time limit that Fine said at the beginning was coming, Herro's spirit was obviously tense, and even in front of Hughes, he no longer had the look of ease in the past.

——The calm before the storm is coming to an end.
